Experience the perfect blend of privacy, recreation, and year-round accessibility with this exceptional off-grid mountain retreat located just a short drive from town. Enjoy paved roads all but the final 1.7 miles, providing convenient access while still offering the peace and solitude of a true mountain getaway. Bordering National Forest, this fully fenced property offers direct access to endless hiking, horseback riding, ATV adventures, and outdoor recreation right from your doorstep. Abundant wildlife, including elk and mule deer, regularly visit the property, creating an unforgettable Colorado mountain experience. The highly efficient home was constructed with approximately 7½ inches of spray foam insulation, achieving an impressive R-49 rating for year-round comfort and energy efficiency. The fully off-grid system includes a 4,500-watt solar array with eight 6-volt batteries and the flexibility to operate with a generator as needed. Water and utility systems have been thoughtfully designed and include an 1,150-gallon cistern with pressure tank and pump located beneath the home, a 1,250-gallon septic tank, and a 750-gallon gray water tank, providing reliable and efficient self-sufficiency. The property also features a seasonal pond and two versatile outbuildings. Both sheds are fully insulated with ½-inch plywood walls and ceilings. Shed #1 includes a propane heater, while Shed #2 offers a propane heater, lighting, and the ability to operate from a generator, making them ideal for workshops, guest space, hobby areas, or additional storage. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, peaceful solitude, and direct National Forest access, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Colorado while maintaining modern comforts and complete independence.
